From the "competition" to maximize profit,
to the "co-creation" of social value.
For a sustainable society,

but also a "purpose model" is needed.
"Purpose Model" was developed as a tool
that can be used when you want to:
・involve diverse people
・set a purpose that motivates everyone
・grow your activities
